Immortals? Also something misunderstood. Gold is all about center so for the golden lotus alchemy to be complete one has to be connected to the earth aka the center and to be connected to the earth element in the universe(universal center). Connection with the earth will strengthen you heal you and give you an empowerment. This connection also makes your aura and energy golden as the earth itself is golden. This is the Golden Immortal of the center.

The interesting thing is that gold is the universal symbol of the earth element in the universe.

This is a partial quote from the golden elixir thread from innersoundqigong http://thedaobums.com/topic/37894-golden-elixer/

This proves that go is real and he likes the muppets.....FACT!

Very good series definitely for the kung fu internal power enthusiast Think not....check out episode 11 when he learns and master's the 9 yang skill this was of course after learning from the divine healer of butterfly valley and training with Chang Zhang Feng his God father was also the 5th hero of wudang. I also like the Golden Flower Granny her aura was awesome and I also like the head of the kunlun sect this series kicks ass from beginning to end. I mostly liked when Chang Zheng Feng tried to go back to shaolin to learn the 9 yang skill the jiuyangshengong to heal his god son Zhang Wuji because the supreme yang palm of wudang was not working to heal him of the jinx yin palm. and the monks at shaolin wouldnt even let him enter the temple. Have to love the Jiang Hu!

The leader of the kunlun secct was just awesome. Later during the series Chang Zang Feng creates Taichi and Taichi sword. Right after he tells the remaining 7 heroes of wudang about it a monk tries to attack him and Chang Zhang Feng literally destroys the guy. Lots of interesting neigong and shengong in this. Like the Yin Jinx palm the shaolin vajra finger the supreme yang palm the 9 yang skill the 9 yin skill which went to kunlun...the Great Universal shift stance of the ming sect and various other skills. The interesting thing from an internal kung fu aspect of it was that even though Zhang Wuji knew the awesome 9 yang skill and the great universal shift stance of the ming sect it was his taichiquan that he learned from wudang that was really effective. The Supreme Ultimate Palm(taijiquan) but the shaolin scoffed at him before hand saying how can you claim to be greater than your teachers from shaolin? but after seeing his Taiji they shut up Its the politics and snide comments of the other sects to each other that makes this a joy as well.

? Ok anyways its a good story 40 episodes in all. Very exciting if your into internal kung fu history and the different sects.

Infact the jindan is also sometimes referred to as the golden earth pill.

Because of the very very close similarities between gold dragon and gold lotus practices the gold lotus and all practices derived from it are held in such high regard. The gold light seated meds have much in common with the experiences one gets from practicing the secret of the golden flower except for a few things like the eye rolling. The interesting thing to note here is that gold is the universal expression of the earth element in the universe.

I like how they suggest that the supreme yang palm of wudang was inspired by the 9 yang skill but it was never quite as strong.

In the Golden Lotus system there is the Gum Guang (gold light) seated meditations. The seated meditations will cause one to see gold in their mind when they meditate. The seated meds connect you to the earth. The standing moving meds connect you to saturn which in chinese feng shui is the manifestation of the earth element in nature. Together these will cause one to have a powerful golden energy. Now when one starts the gold light meds one will not see gold right away which is the shen being cultivated. In the beginning one will see blue orange and then gold. After a short time of practicing the golden lotus system the earth itself will start to charge you. In that respect its very similar to the golden dragon system but just no connection to the guardian of the earth. The seated meds are the prep for the moving meds.

Go to 28;43 of episode 11 and decide if you should watch this series its very good.

Very good series for the Taoist internal power enthusiast. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGqznviEDIk

Yeah I liked it it wasnt bad.

I was sitting here watching one of my favorite series from wuxiaedge.com While eating doritos then a sinister thought popped in my head I wonder what kind of doritos they are eating in china...... But then I found that it was pretty normal. But then I seen what kind of doritos they eat in japan... WTF!!!!!

Hmm yes im very glad this thread came back to life It was the first thing I saw upon coming out of meditation. Thx for the translation now that its translated I think I get what the advertising was trying to say.... "That eating Doritos is electrically reviving! Just like a kick in the nuts that you can take with you and share with your friends!"

Earth is the center and it strengthens all of the other elements. It is the balance of yin and yang its symbol is the yin yang symbol its color is yellow its animal is the Yellow Dragon its season is late summer its direction is South West. Which you can see here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wu_Xing If you follow these patterns of nature you can make sure that your golden energy is always strong. like facing south west when you meditate. Going outside when yin and yang is balanced which is about 6:30 to 7:00. Eating plants and herbs that bloom in late summer and so forth. So - the technology there is invisibility but who knows what else? That's cool. I think the ancient masters may have been very literal when referring to the golden elixir. But one can not leave out other important aspects to the cultivation of the elixir because that's just not daoist. Daoist are very much into knowing the time, directions, stars and planets of cultivating. But then again I dont hear much on the 8 fairies either. http://taiwanreview.nat.gov.tw/ct.asp?xItem=173042&CtNode=1220 So when you see things like 8 fairies fist or something like that its referring to this.

Once you know where your alchemy comes from you can start to feng shui your home based on the alchemy you do. That's when things get cool.

All alchemy comes from the golden dragon of the earth. The Golden dragon represents earth/center/void So in alchemy you root to the earth focus on the center and enter the void. This is said to get the elixir. Gold in feng shui is represented by earth and metal the stomach and lungs In chinese feng shui in the center of the octagon is earth to strengthen the other elements. What is needed is the spiritual aspect to the alchemy. So some sects like shaolin use multiple guardians like the white tiger and cyan dragon. The cyan dragon's hours are during sunrise and the white tigers hours are at sunset. So they are basically saying from sun up to sun down they are the top. So in the in the original kung fu TV series its starts with the sun rising and it ends with the sun setting. Taoism just isnt about alchemy it's also about the natural forces that affect us as well. Seeing my teacher exercise the golden light was amazing it had a feeling of being very old and familiar.

I already have. When the Golden Lotus was brought into taoism it was mixed with various other practices. Even what I have isnt the original version but it is the closest to the original. The real golden immortals have went underground to the point that you could have a very similar practice and know the history and still not be able to find them. Because I havent.

This reminds me of an old saying. "Don't teach the training let the training teach you." When my teacher told me about a rare kung fu named after a golden flower that lets you emit gold light and how this knowledge was given to the monks to hide it and protect it. Who turned it in to kung fu. I listened and learned. I picked up what he was throwing down.... I didn't grab my secret of the golden flower book and start quoting.. Even though I'm directly telling you that there is a very direct version of this practice infact there are at least 3 versions. The golden elixir is spiritual alchemy. If you have golden elixir you can emit golden light if you hold gold in your hand it will empower you. You will have the spiritual qualities of gold. You will start building and feeling a connection to the gold in the earth and sun.

I'm familiar with the rainbow body. What I'm saying is that the original original practice was the golden dragon. Your not going to find a higher or more potent practice than that. It doesnt get much higher than guardian of earth and then being able to alchemically and spiritually back that up..... The golden elixir and golden immortals came from the golden lotus which was broke off from the golden dragon. This is why the Golden lotus golden elixir and golden immortal were placed at such high regard. You can attain rainbow body thru other practices sure that is well documented. But Is it spiritual alchemy? Is it spiritually right is there a force in nature backing it. For example you can do some thunder practices. No matter what it is. Now if a practitioner of the Azure Dragon Guardian walks up who is directly connected to thunder whom all thunder practices are connected to he has more of a spiritual connection than the other man. When the Azure dragon practitioner wakes up in the morning the energy of the rising sun will charge him its rising yang...everything connected to thunder/east/spring will charge and empower him. There is no thunder magic or method higher than the sky dragon practice. A dragon in the sky....Get it? So with the golden elixir it correlates to everything that gold does. They can hold gold and it will cause them to vibrate hard due to the resonation. The Golden Lotus practitioners can emit gold light in less than 2 months and it only gets stronger. They were known as the golden immortals. The golden dragon is hot and golden just like the center of the earth.

Well there is a difference between the japanese tibetan indian and chinese as it goes for guardians and elements. The chinese from what I understand and have seen and exp'ed have a better understanding to the elements and natural forces. Each of the 5 guardians of chinese astrology has a neigong practice that goes with them. So lets take wudang that has the guardian of the turtle snake. The turtle snake is connected to winter/black/north/water/turtles/snakes and a time of day it correlates to. So if you practiced the guardian of the north meditations you would get a empowerment daily when the turtle snake energy is strongest. You would be strongest in winter, facing north, and around water. Basically everything that has something to do with that energy. In tibetan practice they just work with water on a very elementary basis when compared to the Zhenwu meditations of the turtle snake. So if your part of wudang you can do wudang taichi and run the mco this way and that way but it is nothing to the guardian of the north practices which is the heart of that sect. This is isnt like Mantak chia's or others this is very specific. I can breath in earth energy thru my yonguan cavities that doesnt mean im cultivating the guardian of the earth. The golden lotus correlates to actually gold. Its spiritual alchemy. Gold is at the heart of the sun, earth and so forth. But it doesnt have the spiritual connection that the golden dragon does because its not a guardian practice.

Well look im from a lotus tradition and my practice is named after a golden flower and we emit gold light in a very short period of time but I digress. I'll speak on what i was taught not what I read out of a book and if it helps you on your search then great if not oh well. The golden dragon is a spiritual practice that is the guardian of earth. All of neidan is under the rule of one or multiple guardians this is why every orthodox taoist temple works with one. So they can be a gate keeper of heaven and thus divine and orthodox. It all leads to their own respective rainbow bow body. But the golden dragon's attainment is the most powerful because it was feed by grown in and supported by the earth. The practitioner is anchored to the earth so to speak. The Golden lotus is a branch off of the golden dragon but it has no connection to the golden dragon guardian the golden lotus is connected to gold. The golden dragon practice was thought not suitable for the majority of practitioners. So thus the Golden Lotus its like the golden dragon just no guardian of earth stuff. This went to the Mahayana practitioners. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahayana This started the legend of the golden immortals and golden elixir. They even have a sutra called golden light http://www.sutraofgoldenlight.com/ Plus there are different types of alchemy than fire water and wind and even that is not properly understood from what ive seen on here. There is alchemy then there is spiritual alchemy which builds spiritual connections to forces in nature. To spiritually interact with a elemental energy that is used for alchemic purposes. And then to learn the affect this has on the body when injected. Man im glad I had a teacher

Well there is a few points missing here. I think my practice is a little higher level than what you will find in a Yang Jwing Ming book. Plus the mco runs in both directions. Just depends on the breathing reverse breathing it goes up the back normal breathing down the front. your orbit just has to be open. Also your talking about a mechanical method and not a natural spontaneous one im not running the mco backwards. There are different aspects here at work. I was describing the golden light energy in my practice. 1. The elemental nature of the energy which is important it naturally flows that way to the kidneys to nurture it then to the ldt.
